I imagined an industrial remix of Edith Piaf slowly building as I read that. I'm just emailing Laibach. Like a rotten phoenix, you rise, gaudy, terrible, magnificent. Thank you for being you.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

give that a go. Mongrels was my gateway to Jones' work, and i am now a total stan. That's werewolves, but he's all over the horror palette. The Only Good Indians is a new monster The Indian Lake trilogy is revisionist Slasher, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter - Vampire. But not like other vampires.

You know who would use some royalties today? Gretchen Felker Martin. Read this fine review (from @eruditorumpress.com) and buy her new book. www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/review-...
you've done Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones, yeah?
The four horsemen of the apocalypse turned out to be War, Pestilence, Famine and Ethics In Games Journalism.
RIGHT in the Golden Era of Slasher Films.
thanks HEAPS and I'm off to check this out. Much appreciated!
today's weird question: would you consider Alien (1979) a Slasher flick, or at least as having Slasher elements? I think it works, but I'd love any take at all #alien #horror #horrorfilm #slasher #slasherfilm #alienearth
Hi, @sgj.bsky.social I hope you don't mind a quick question: would you consider Alien (1979) as a slasher film or more likely as having strong slasher elements? I'm throwing to you for obvious reasons: your books really dissect the Slasher while still loving it.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. -Aldous Huxley
So weird how the âgreat guyâ narrative on mainstream media is backed up by zero clips of him demonstrating the qualities they are celebrating.
Only a human could come up with a take this bad though
BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
ICE just killed an immigrant at a traffic stop outside Chicago while simultaneously tear gassing protesters ALL IN ONE DAY and the entire timeline is still massive accounts talking about the Kirk shooting and Pritzker scaring Trump off Literally what the fuck is wrong with all of you
With Von der Lyon, Naomi Wolf & Pfizer in the headlines, isn't it time we finally hold both Health Ministers in the Scott Morrison Ministry to account @albomp.bsky.social ? Or are you happy to let them get away with murder? #Auspol If you want another term in AusGov, act in our best interests, PM!
5 years ago we had a listening party for The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths. You can replay the listening party (no_434) here:

This book is such a gift: to film lovers, to queers, to fuckups and losers who eventually get their shit together. It's my favorite of her works, and I'm so excited to see what she writes next

Being informed that DC has cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin's work to appease the whiners of the world. Should be a reminder for folks as to what Corporate IP comics actually are, because ppl forget and act like these enterprises are progressive to justify their consumption.
Do you get what this is like for trans women? We are being subject to attempts to exterminate us from public life, and we cannot so much as FIGHT BACK without institutions from all walks of life coming down and pinning our arms for our enemies to pummel. No space, no grace, we are given NOTHING.
what if something we might do about AI is to try and use it in ways it's not meant to be used? What if we bend it until it snaps? What if we do to AI what hip hop did with records, changing them from passive consumption objects to tools to make new music with, tools that changed music forever?
Thank god AI has finally solved the problem of there not being enough podcasts
Remember: there's no audience for AI-produced content. Nobody in the AI ecosystem is there to read or listen - only to publish their own slop.
RALLY TO SAVE MEANJIN Thursday 11 Sep 9am Outside the Melbourne University Publishing office, 715 Swanston St, Carlton. A number of Australian writers and editors will speak in support of this vital cultural institution
Art shouldnât be accessible to all. The material conditions for making itâmoney and a room of oneâs own, as it wereâshould be accessible to all. Art should be accessible to people who put in the work.
A heart-pounding, heart-breaking portrait of a lying, contemptuous, and cruel person, and the ways that images construct reality. Essential viewing for understanding how fascism operates, that we must crush it completely, and why, when our current moment ends, we cannot exonerate those responsible.
an excellent article about the sudden axing of long running literary journal Meanjin www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/08/m...
oh now this interesting if a tad predictable www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/08/m...

Collective Shout director Melinda Tankard Reist â who is also on the Australian internet age filter board â is a writer published by largely single issue TERF house Spinifex Press. Iâd wondered why, but assumed SWERFs were, you know, adjacent enough. This certainly clarifies things
has anyone filtered discussion about AI through Mark Fisher's criticism and theory?
Dawn of the Dead. 1978. Dir: George Romero. Mostly know for its social critique of mass consumerism â w/ the majority of the film based at the mall â its opening 20 mins of SWAT teams going nuts while clearing out tenement buildings of its âillegalsâ remains deftly poignant even today. #filmsky
Monks said: âThis is my room for everyday grudges. As you can see, the display cabinet here is for various obstructive receptionists. My GPâs receptionist had a whole shelf.â
where would we be without the police to keep us same from terrorists like this wheelchair-using decorated RAF veteran or an octogenarian priest
a good bit here about recent activity by the vile far-right in Australia
absolutely. I'm really enjoying it thus far.
he's almost the best thing in it, although Babou Ceesay was amazing in the most recent episode.

what a top idea!

Lads - the freelancer applications so far are sooooooo strong! The more Patreon subscribers we have before applications close on the 14th, the more hilarious writers we can take home from the writing sanctuary. If you were thinking about signing up, now is a great time to do it!
Weâre still crowdfunding for the audio version of our sketch show, The Daily Tism News! Help us pay our writers and performers a standard industry rate so they can get righteously angry with us about it!
A really great article that cuts to the heart of how little attention is being paid to Thomas Sewell, the domestic terrorist, and the implications of Sunday's march. #DomesticTerrorism #ThomasSewell #CampSoverign
Does anyone who works in the British Library have a clue how to connect to the WiFi from a Mac? Since the hack it only worked once, the little triangle says connected but the pop-up thing that actually gets you online never appears. Librarian says Macs seem to have an issue with it #brokenbritain
Not to get too LinkedIn on here, but I have some spare freelance capacity this autumn so DM me if you're looking to hire a music writer, copywriter (certified actual human), editor, comms person or ultra-nerdy proofreader. Newsletters, festival brochures, hacking down words to fit, whatever!
BRING HER BACK is a fucking nuclear bomb of a watch. I absolutely adored it - and it's really shit me the fuck up. Am not going to forget about it in a hurry. We really are in a new golden age of horror film making.
I think I might write an AI horror story where the monster AI is Clippy
as an arts writer(don't be fooled, there's a lot of art in Lutruwita), I am desperate for better and wider coverage.
The government and public institutions, along with traditional media companies, have totally abandoned arts journalism. Surely there some non-Zionist arts patrons who understand the importance of this stuff. Get in touch!! Would love to make arts and culture the next pillar of what we are building!
yeah, I dig a bit of Dennis.

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.
Websites: "Verify you're a human... No, try again. No, try again. You must verify you're a real person." The same websites: "You can only make a complaint via Billy, our AI assistant, who will connect you to one of our customer support operatives, Misha, who seems to be human but is in fact a bot"

As an activist who helped lead the campaign against Robodebt, I can only think back to the days when legal scholars told us we had no chance of winning in court, and how I thought, fuck it, weâll keep fighting anyway The Robodebt class action payout is now the largest *ever* in Australian history

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, whoâd had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what wouldâve happened if they hadnât been vaccinated. âOh, theyâd have died.â
can you possibly share a source or link? I am addicted every detail of this case!!
FUCK, man.
all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe
The Nazis are going to steamroll Australia imho. We have a media environment unequipped to do anything other than amplify their views, a federal government that either enacts their policies or creates the conditions for their success, and a liberal populace who think eating dumplings is anti-racist.
I already skeeted this, but it warrants a second mention, because it's decent journalism.
Ohh a judgment is being handed down tomorrow in Ben Roberts-Smith defamation appeal! Not sure what it relates to. Could be costs decision Weâll find out tomorrow!
Decent media takes on Sunday's Far Right marches in Australia have been few, so it is with some relief I recommend excellent Lamestream podcast created by @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social and Scott Mitchell. The paywall is down on for the report on the marches. www.lamestream.com.au

There has so far been no AI generated bestselling book. No AI generated hit record. No AI generated blockbuster film or TV show. No evidence yet in fact that there is any commercial demand at all for individual AI generated artworks. But there HAVE been 1,000 pieces about how inevitable they are

I think Clear Cut (the Graham Greene film) is a folk horror work.
I'm certainly going to! It's a clever film, and very prescient.
I hadn't heard that recording of Ursula's acceptance speech before. Such articulate fire. I wept. You know exactly where. So, yeah, the best way.
